Colder weather is quickly approaching, which means that it’s the time of year to make sure your home is ready for freezing temperatures, wind, and snow.
The homestead classification applies to properties occupied as primary residences by their owners. A property classified as a homestead may qualify for a reduced classification rate, reduced taxable market value, property tax refund and/or special program eligibility.
Once a property has been granted homestead classification, you do not need to reapply. You can verify that this has been completed by reviewing the property tax information listed for your home on your county’s website.
Apply to your county assessor by December 31st to qualify for this classification for 2025.
